FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My rates range between $25-$45 per hour, depending upon your needs, and are in accordance with those recommended by the Editorial Freelancers Association. Since all jobs vary in size and scope, I can provide a preliminary initial quote via my Thumbtack bid, but encourage you to contact me to discuss the details of your project and to confirm a rate and pricing structure (per hour, page, project) that suits you and your job requirements. I promise to work as quickly as possible while still adhering to my professional standards of accuracy and quality.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to speak with a prospective client via email or phone about their project details: what type of service do you need (editing, proofreading, word processing, etc.); where are you in your project (beginning, middle, end); and what are your expectations when hiring me? Then I view a sample of your project to offer my professional opinion on what is needed to reach your expectations and provide you with a scope of work detailing the work to be provided, time required to complete the project, and total cost. Since I work remotely, you will email me your manuscript/document, and subsequent contact will be via phone and email until the job is completed. I am very accessible, and welcome your questions and addressing concerns.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from San Diego State University with a Bachelors degree in English and a Certificate in Applied Linguistics and Teaching English as a Second Language. I have more than 12 years of experience as a professional editor, proofreader, technical writer, researcher, and document formatting specialist. I am a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association (EFA).
